  • They can be defined with their own currency and language.
  • They can have multiple contacts and addresses.
  • Subsidiaries can be used to segment data for reporting and to restrict access to data based on roles and permissions.

Creating a new location

Last Updated: January 8, 2018

KRISP POS defined locations as either a primary location or a sub location.

  • Primary location: The primary location will typically define the store from where KRISP POS sale transactions with customers occur.
  • Sublocations: Sublocations are used to manage the movement of inventory.

Primary locations:

Each location is unique and will be identified by a name and an address. The primary location is always defined as a physical location.

Creating locations:

  1. Go to the menu.
  2. Go to Setup > Company > Locations.
  3. Click on Add button.
  4. This will bring you to a form to create a new location. Complete the form's required fields and sections.


    Filling out the form:

    You will see a left sidebar so you can navigate through the form.

    Sections Description
    General Details about the location you're adding.
    Address Address details of the location.
    Contact Contact details of your company.
    Sublocation mapping To manage inventory movements and availability.

    Sublocations are an effective method to manage inventory movements and availability. All primary locations MUST have a minimum of one (1) sublocation. Sublocations can either be a physical or a virtual location:

    • Virtual sublocation: A sublocation is identified as a virtual location if movements with the current location are automatic, i.e. inventory is automatically transferred to and from it, and there is no need for manual intervention.

      Note that when moving inventory between different stores or different stores sublocations, transfers will be manually executed. i.e. locations which are in different localities. Sublocations can be grouped into a single location.

    Hint: Retailers will typically set up a single virtual sublocation and map all other sublocation to it.

    Use the dropdown to select a sublocation. If the sublocation is a physical location, check the Is a physical location checkbox.

    • Physical sublocation: A sublocation is identified as a physical location if inventory needs to be manually transferred to and from it.

      Example: A transaction group such as layby can be assigned to a layby sublocation. As such, when a layby is created at KRISP POS, the items which are on layby will be located in the layby sublocation.

Creating matrix items

Last Updated: September 6, 2018

Matrix items allow retailers to quickly define an item which is sold with different options, i.e. an items that comes in different colours, sizes, lengths.

By using matrix (parent) items, the system provides a simplified way of setting up, grouping, and managing the underlying related (child) items. The child item is an inventory item.

Note: A matrix parent item can neither be sold or purchased.

Child items inherit the parent matrix item attributes. This ensures standard numbering/naming among items. Certain item values can be altered to assist in distinguishing individual child items, e.g. display names.

Matrix items also have benefits during transaction processing and reporting. Even though the parent item cannot be transacted against, it can appear in reports to group the child matrix items.

Creating product bundles

Last Updated: January 8, 2018

Individual products can be grouped and sold together at KRISP POS as a single unit.

  • A bundle has its own selling price which may vary from the sum of the bundled items.
  • It can be made up of inventory, non-inventory, and service items. This allows the single bundle item to be selected on a sale. Note that the underlying items are not tracked.
  • A bundle's quantity is increased by an adjustment. See inventory adjustment.

An example of a bundle would be a gym bundle made up of a gym towel, bag and, shirt.

When a single unit of that gym bundle is sold at KRISP POS, the inventory decreases for the bundle.

Creating bundles:

The creation a bundle item is similar to creating an inventory item. However, there is an additional step where the underlying items and quantity, which make up the bundle, are selected. i.e. bundle items subtab.

In this subtab, add the items and quantity which will make up the bundle.

  1. Go to the menu.
  2. Go to Product > Items.
  3. Click the Add button.
  4. Fill out the form and make sure that bundle is selected under the Type dropdown.
  5. This will bring you to a form. Complete the form's required fields and sections.

    Filling out the last form:

    Enter in all the mandatory and if applicable, other optional details.

    General Item's general details like name, item number, etc.
    Item location Locations where you would like to sell this item with associated pricebook and inventory details.
    Cross and upsell Substitute and correlated items.
    Excluded locations Locations where the item will not be accessed from the KRISP POS.
    UPC QR codes and barcodes for the product.
    Hotkeys Shows which hotkey groups the product belongs to.
    System notes A list of recorded activities or changes.

    Release note: System notes will be available in a future release.

    All the other sections are exactly similar to how you create new products, which you can refer to by going to Creating new products. For creating bundle items, there will be an additional section on the left called Bundle items.

    Bundle items section:

    Click the plus icon Plus icon to add the items you want to include in this bundle. You can change the quantity depending on what you need.


  8. Press the Save button once you're done with all the other sections (General, item location, cross and upsell, etc).


Setting up cash rounding rules

Last Updated: January 8, 2018

Cash rounding rules determine any currency rounding that needs to occur when calculating or dispensing a total.

They can be setup for each country which has imposed a regulation for retailers, or to apply specific payment type rounding rules. When rounding rules are setup and associated to a payment type (on checkout), the KRISP POS will apply these rules automatically without the need to prompt the cashier.

Creating cash rounding rules:

  1. Go to the menu.
  2. Go to Setup > Finance > Cash rounding.
  3. Click the Add button.
  4. Fill out the required fields on the form:

    Create cash rounding

    • Name: Enter in a name for this rule.
    • Currency: Choose the currency which will be used.
    • Round to (denomination in cents): Enter in the denomination (in cents) you want to apply the rounding rule to.
    • Method: Choose a rounding method. There are 3 rounding methods available:
      • Standard: The total will be rounded to the nearest multiple of the round to denomination, which may be higher or lower than the unrounded total e.g. 9 cents will be rounded to 10 cents, and 6 cents to 5 cents.
      • Up: Will always round up.
      • Down: Will always round down.
    • Middle rounding method: If the cash total hits a middle value in the 'round to' denomination, the rounding can be set to round up or down.

    Example: In Australia, cash rounding is to nearest 5 cents.

    If a transaction is being paid in cash, and the number of cents to be paid does not end in zero or five, requiring the customer to use 1 and 2 cent coins in payment or the retailer to use such coins in giving change, the amount of change paid will be rounded to the nearest 5 or 10 cent: 1 and 2 would be rounded down to zero, 3 and 4 would be rounded up to 5, 6 and 7 would be rounded down to 5, 8 and 9 would be rounded up to 10.

  5. Click the Save button.

To edit existing cash rounding rules, view Managing cash rounding rules.

  • Dollar spend (Product - percent): When the trigger value of the items is met, a discount percent is applied. Multiple trigger values can be set. e.g. the customer gets a 20% off, only when the total of their promotion-valid items reaches the minimum trigger of $500.

  6. Click the Save button.

Note: When no internet is available but this feature is enabled, you will only be able to add, search, and update customers.
